Referring in-detail to the drawings, the numeral 1 indicates supporting. r0 ds which are adapted to be' attache'd toa support 2, -th'at' may be the wall of. a room or any other device which may-be conveniently used for such a purpose and said rods are connected to the support2 by upper and lower brackets 3 and 4. The bracket 3 is securedto the support 2 in anydesired manner and has struck out therefrom spaced loops 5 to rotatably receive the supporting rods 1. The lower ends. of the supporting rods 1 are 'journaled in apertures .6 formed in the lower supporting bracket 4. The

supporting bracket iconsists of a horizontal portion curedto the support 2 by suitable fasteners. The lower ends of the supporting rods 1 are 1ournaled in the horizontal p'ortlon 7 which V and a vertical portion 8 and the latter is se- 7 is also provided with a series of perforations V 9 for the purpose of permitting water dripping from umbrellas supported by said rodsto pass through the horizontal portion 7. A conical shaped receptacle 10 is attached to the horizontal portion 7 of the bracket 4 under the perforations for the purpose a of receiving or catching the water passing through said horizontal portion from the umbrellas supported by the device.

The upper portions of the supporting rods '1, or the portlons that are located above the upper supporting bracket 3 are curved outwardly and upwardly as illustrated at 11 and have their free ends 12 disposed vertically and which are spaced a considerable distance away from the support 2, so that when, the handles of umbrellas are attached to said ends 12 by clips 13, said handles of :the umbrellas are disposed away from the support 2 so that they may be readily grasped to remove the umbrellas from the holder or support. The clips 13'are substantially U-shaped having their bight. portions secured to the ends 12 of the supporting rods 1 while their arms 14 are restricted as illustrated at 15 and curved outwardlyso that the handles of umbrellas will be efliciently retained within said clips and the outwardly curvedportions of said arms permit the easy insertion of the handles of the innbrellas within the clips.

It. is to'be noted that this device is also capable; of supporting canes or walking sticks as well as umbrellas.

While I have shown and described the CQiV'III 'O enin s of a size lar er than the o b V b p will be understood that minor changes in constructlon, combination and arrangement of parts may be mede'wlthout depart ng from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed. v

Having thus described my invention What I claim is: v V L An umbrella holder comprising an angular shaped bracket adapted to have its vertical portion; secured to asupportand hav-' ing its horizontal portionvprovided with draining openings and umbrella stick re first openings, means for gripping'umbreb las to support them vertically with their sticks insertedin the second mentioned openings, and a receptacle carried by the vertical portion of the bracket and having
